How can the Army recruitment stuff be so poor, yet the Royal Marine recruitment stuff is top-class?

Haven't got round to watching the latest "The Paras" documentary yet, but apparently during the ad break they showed one for the Royal Marines.
Great timing!! 😀

Great timing!! 😀 I watched it,the usual stuff break them mentally/physically then rebuild just a much tougher version than the Marines. They also showed a RAF advert during the break which I have been trying to decide whether it was crass or great marketing!! |

All these adverts and documentaries are doing their job as far as I can tell, reaching out to different people who have different reasons for joining. That is why there are different styles and so many of them in recent times. The problem is processing applications. I worked with the first person to take charge when Crapita took over the army recruitment admin. I thought that she was so bad in the job she left that the MOD would regret it. Sadly I wasn't wrong. 😶 All three services are well short of their budgeted headcount, which is already too low for what they need to fo by several thousand. |

Aye worked with a few folk like that,agree with you regarding the Services headcount.I firmly believe the Service chiefs know what their primary role is and I would guess that is to protect Europe's Eastern flank not to be the world's policeman on the coat tails of the US ,although Trump's isolationism has curtailed that somewhat. Unfortunately our Government still believes we have a devine right to interfere come what may, heyho a massive debate! ! |
